About Me

I'm extremely cheerful, positive and friendly, open-minded, a little bit restrained in unfamiliar company, but only for a while - generally I'm very communicative and as a real chatter-box can talk on any topic. My friends consider me as a true "girl on fire" - emotional, active, joyful and always smiling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For meeting amazing people, exchanging our views on different topics, exploring countries and cities as a guest&traveller, not just a tourist.

Interests

I am a human rights activist, public figure of my own and students€™ community, photographer, dancer, and creator of my fortune. I'm fond of travelling and want to spend some time in each country on the Earth. I`m crazy fanatic bookreader, so buying books everywhere =)) My another passion is dance, without what I can't spend even one day. Also, as in our NGO we are writing and implementing different social and ecological projects, so I will happy to communicate with volunteers and activists from different countries.

So as to make time for the movie is rarely possible I select them quite carefully to my mood and taste, not paying the slightest attention to the country of production(and still have watched very little). Those I like - "Mao Last Dancer", "Artist", "Les Horistes", "Romeo and Juliet"(1968), "Aaja Nachle", "Rango", "The Help", "Maria Antuanetta" etc. And also I watch a lot of Disney movies with my family and young sister.
